Gentlemen,
I got Samplitude 7 today. I had given up hope that it would arrive, and assumed I'd been ripped off, but it's here and it's wonderful. I was able to go through the activation process, so it's real.

Are there any free plugins that work for Audacity? If so, could you please post them

What's a good db level to reach for during mixdown? I've been told by 2 different MEs on 2 different projects that my mixes were too loud, so it messed up the overall master. However, they didn't tell me what to aI'm for. I want to get the most out of my mixes during the mastering process. Help please.

i have an emu 0404 audio card and i aws told i could look under the vst inputs and find the channel but the program will not show my emu inputs only some E-DSP wave inputs which I'm pretty sure are just the stock ones but if not could someone tell me cuz i thougth they would be there and arnt.. so how do i get the inputs there in the first place?

I can't see the level going up and down when I sing, does anyone know what I'm doing? I hear my voice in teh speakers and it lets me record but my voice doesn't get into the track...what the hell?

Alright. I am wondering how I would go about setting up a compressor so I can use it while recording and after recording. The setup that I will have is a Soundcraft FX8 Mixer, dbx 166XL Compressor, Maya1010 souncard, and Cool Edit Pro 2.0. Also, assume I am recording drums and am using 8 channels for it.

Hi!

What do you guys think are the most important rack processors in the studio?

First post...

So, I'm sittin on the can reading the rag right? And I scan over monitors, mics, keyboards, and all that sort of stuff.

But then a few months ago, Bose started to stick their products in our faces...

has anyone used/heard emes blacks..?
or got any comments on dual concentric speakers..
